After an epic vote fail in the lower house yesterday (labour accidentally voted against net neutrality lolfail), which was rectified today, The Netherlands has officially become the second country in the world, and the first in Europe, to turn net neutrality into law (okay, technically it needs to pass the senate, but that's more of a formality in our system). A big middle finger to Sarkozy, Cameron, and Obama. Hey Chile, ./fistbump.sh. We're honoured to follow in your footsteps!

These are companies providing filtering services for their customers (i.e. porn filters), so customers get so called "safe" internet.

That just became illegal.

Nope.

People can buy filtering services if they want.

ISPs just can't force them on their customers.

There's a world of difference. Would you really like a world where someone could modify your brain so that you can't see some people, forever, not even know that they exist ? Every blocking service should be separate from the core access to information.
